We always use client copy during the initial installation of the R/3 system. We create new clients by copying client 000 which is always available when you install the R/3 system. Other than that, we also use client copy to create test clients, deve clients, playground clients, training clients, production clients, etc. You could initially create new clients through tcode SCC4 and copy a client through tcode SCCL.

When copying a client, you could always select a components you want to be copied with the use of Copy Profiles. I googled for a list of copy profiles and help.sap.com always comes in handy. Here’s a list of common copy profiles for client copy.

SAP_USER - Users, user roles and authorization profiles are copied. The client is not reset.
SAP_UONL - User without authorization profile and role
SAP_PROF - Only authorization profile and roles
SAP_CUST - Client-specific customizing including authorization profile is copied. The application data is deleted, the user data is retained.
SAP_CUSV - SAP_CUST with variants
SAP_UCUS - SAP_CUST with user master data
SAP_UCSV - SAP_UCUS with variants
SAP_ALL - All client data and local data is copied.
SAP_APPL - SAP_ALL without user master data
SAP_AAPX - SAP_ALL without authorization profile and roles

Also remember that copying clients requires a large amount of system resources so always ensure that enough resources and database storage space are available.
